Create A Multiple-Signatures Option In Outlook

If you’ve had trouble
creating the multiple-signature option in
Outlook (March 2004, page 75), it’s not your fault—a
paragraph was accidentally dropped from that column.

Here’s how to achieve that option: In Outlook’s Mail
tab, click on Tools , Options
and the Mail Format tab. Click on
Signatures at the bottom of the screen, producing
this:

Then click on New and follow the screen
instructions.

As you’ll see, you can create multiple
signatures—from nicknames to a formal signature with your professional
affiliation. You also can establish different default signatures for
original e-mails you send and for replies or messages you forward. And
by right-clicking on your automated signature that appears at the
bottom of your outgoing e-mail screen, you have the option of using
any of the signatures you composed. For example, my default signature
is Stanley Zarowin, but by right-clicking on my name I can change it
to any of my other options (see screenshot at right).

If you want your signature to appear in any font other than the
style of your e-mail text, you must prepare for that by commanding
Outlook ( Tools , Options ,
Mail Format tab) to Compose in this message
format: Rich Text (see screenshot below).
